1. Lost River
Doctor Who fans were left disheartened in 2013 when it was confirmed that Matt Smith would be bidding the Whoniverse adieu but their spirits were lifted with the accompanying announcement that his portrayal of the Eleventh Doctor had brought him to the attention of Ryan Gosling who subsequently handpicked him to star in his directorial debut. Matt takes on the ominous role of Bully in
Lost River which tells the story of a single mother (Christina Hendricks) who is swept into a dark underworld while her teenage son (Iain De Caestecker) discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town. Shot on location in Detroit, the film was met with unanimous negative reviews when it was premiered at Cannes last year but it has since been given a limited cinematic release and has been been received far better than expected. Don't miss it!
